2020, Hormones and BehaviorCitation Excerpt :The most frequently studied sex differences were in areas of the brain involved in reproduction, including limbic and spinal nuclei controlling ovulation, sexual behavior, copulation, etc. (Arnold and Gorski, 1984; Cooke et al., 1998). Sex differences were also discovered in other brain areas not closely tied to reproduction, such as the cerebral cortex (Juraska, 1991). Because the sex differences were largest in limbic regions, these regions were most frequently studied to determine the underlying molecular and cellular mechanisms of sexual differentiation (McCarthy et al., 2017; McCarthy et al., 2015).

2019, International Journal of Developmental NeuroscienceCitation Excerpt :In fact, most outcome assessments in preclinical research on SUDs and AUDs show sex differences (Kokras and Dalla, 2014; Becker and Koob, 2016; Cohen and Yehuda, 2011). Brain areas involved in drug and stress responses are sexually dimorphic or show estrous stage effects (DeVries, 1989; Andersen and Teicher, 2000; Juraska, 1991; Thompson and Moss, 1997). For example, foot shock induces larger CORT and ACTH responses, enhanced behavioral effects, and greater neural activity in monoamine areas in female vs. male rats (Beatty and Beatty, 1970; Heinsbroek et al., 1990; Rivier, 1999).
